As a side note, I feel a bit silly having to mute Atherton et al for better commentary having spent the last six months listening to C9 and the dross the ICC put out for the world cup. If only we'd started this at the beginning of the Southern Hemisphere season instead of the English one.

Haha this is a particularly salient point given four of the six commentators who have actually been on CW commentary have done so from the southern hemisphere, and one is a SH guy living in the NH right now.

Plus the likes of Heef and Athlai have expressed interest but haven't got on due to time zones.

Slow pitch and outfield, think anything around 325 it is in play especially if we get it to swing.

Bellieve!

Who is the sixth?

325 is your bog standard par score tbh. Think it'd put us ahead here.

I guess the answer is probably hendrix given you were actually on with the other four.

Didn't know Hendrix got involved. Gun

Just a bit of a wide ball to bring up the 100 partnership.

Thought Holder would've liked a crack at the batsmen right after the break given how he bowled just before lunch. Settled down a bit now.

On irrelevant news, the last time SL toured WI was in 2008.. why the **** is that?

(Sanga won't be able to get a ton there before he retires )

Just good at international cricket this guy.

Beauty. England well on top this session.

Surprisingly there's been fewer comments about the players' mental state after lunch.

Eng tours WI when they feel like they need to give a pick-me-up to the fans so they ignore all the issues...

"Look - we beat those mighty West Indians 3-0! We're not so bad after all!"

This post would rate pretty low on cricrate.

Pews has a soft spot for the rolleyes smiley.

Well, it tried to make fun of England I guess, so the intentions can't be faulted.
